Postcards From the Apocalypse

I started Postcards 2 years ago. It came from the idea that the world is ending and there are stunning photographs all over the internet that are documenting the terror in such alarming clarity. I've neglected it somewhat due to time constraint. If you have images you'd like to share, there is a submit button on the right side of the page.

This is how the world ends.

Scientists working to create the first working time machine, develop a method to propel matter at the speed of light. A slight miscalculation causes the entire planet to move at the speed of light for a fraction of a second. The moon, however; is unaffected. The timing of the incident and the distance traveled causes the moon to be caught in Earth's gravity and causes the two celestial bodies to hurtle toward each other at an alarming rate.

In a matter of hours, the moon turns blood red as it makes contact with the atmosphere and fills the whole sky. Unbearable heat affects those facing the brunt of the impact, they die horribly before the impact occurs. The resulting shock wave sends a tsunami of matter hurtling around the globe. The other side of the planet is blown out and the shock wave also meets at this point, reverberating several times across the planet.

The man, who was the test subject of the time travel incident that led to this, is hurtled thousands of years into the future. He finds himself in a world very alien to the one we know today.
